Teddy girls
Dressing vintage style before there was even a thing called "vintage style"...the UK's "Teddy girls".
Making Edwardian fashion modern before there was even a glimmer of Downton Abbey.

Clive Arrowsmith | photographer
When I was a teenager, I hated the 1970s. A real put-down was to call something "so 1970s", but that is of course probably because I was born in the 1970s. Once I got to college I was totally 1970s wearing this super awesome pair of bell bottom jeans that I made MORE bell bottomed by sewing triangle shaped swatches of fabric from the knee to the hem of my jeans. My love for the 1970s has only grown from there, these Clive Arrowsmith fashion photographs pretty much capture what I really love about 1970s fashion - ethnic & bohemian prints, big shapes, maiden hair, etc; I think at least one or two of these are Bill Gibb creations, a designer we hear nearly nothing of nowadays which is really a shame. One of my biggest vintage dreams is to find a Bill Gibb dress and make it mine!

No slouching!
Posture class at Barnard College, 1954. I'm into posture - after practicing and teaching yoga for almost a decade now & playing the violin a decade before that, sometimes it's hard for me to not notice my own posture and the posture of others, so ladies, stand up straight!
